Patients benefit psychologically and physiologically from early mobilisation efforts in critical care settings. Evidence-based practice shows reduced incidence of delirium, improved physical function, and shorter lengths of stay. Barriers to implementation include staffing concerns and fear of complications. Overall, 28% of patients were mobilised by noon, with common reasons for exclusion being sedation and ventilation. Further exploration is needed to improve patient mobilisation rates and address reasons for exclusion.

Out of bed Out of bed audit audit September 2023 Rachel Wade
Why do we get patients out of bed? Why do we get patients out of bed? Positive psychological benefit to being out of bed/reduced duration/incidence of delirium Neurological stimulus to aid walking and reorientation, improved muscle strength, reduced ICU -AW Increased functional residual capacity aiding secretion clearance Orthostatic stimulus challenge cardiovascular system Chair provides support to the patient. Improved core stability
Evidence based practice Early mobilisation is safe for patients in critical care and has been shown to demonstrate benefits to patients: • Improvements in physical function/mobility • Reduction in LOS • Reduction in ventilation days • Decrease in airway/vascular complications • Reduced/shorted incidents of delirium (McWilliams & Pantelides (2008) NICE (2009), Schweikert et al (2009) Clark et al (2013) McWilliams et al (2015) Nyadhl et al (2017), Zang et al (2019) What is early mobilisation? TEAM trial suggested early rehab is harmful ( adverse events such as altered blood pressure/cardiac arrythmia/desaturation) (Hodgson et al 2015) Adapted to the individual patient rather than one fits all – move towards earlier rehab and what is suitable for the patient (McWilliams @ BACCN conference 2023)
Barriers to early mobilisation -Staff safety concerns - fear of cardiac/respiratory complications Adequate staffing - labour intensive /time required Junior workforce/clinical expertise (Clark et al 2013, McWilliams et al 2016)

Discussion 66 out of 235 ( 28%) patients were out of bed by 12:00 Exclusions – 154 out of 235 ( 65%) Top 3 reasons for exclusion • sedated /ventilated 58 patients (24%) • “Other” 30 patients (12%) • GCS <10 15 patients (6%) Patients refused 14 (5.9%) Variance between weekday/weekend? Weekday - 11 units submitted data. 23% patients out of bed by 12. Weekend – 10 units submitted data. 23% patients out of bed by 12. Limits to audit – did not look at patients getting up after 12 - would be interesting to explore reasons for ‘other’
Are there improvements to be made to increase Are there improvements to be made to increase number of patients getting out of bed? number of patients getting out of bed? Refused? Patient education Other? Staff education Pain control? Further audits? – NoECCN to repeat audit next year - individual units may want to explore further
